NAILING APPARATUS FIXING ELEMENTS SUCH AS NAILS, STAPLES AND SIMILAR

摘要

A device for driving fastening elements, such as nails, staples and the like, includes a magazine extending transversely from a driving unit. A follower is located within the magazine for supplying fastening elements to the driving unit. For filling the magazine with fastening elements, the follower can be secured in a loading position. The follower is secured by a stop pivotally attached to the follower which engages an abutment on the magazine. The follower is released from the loading position by an actuating member movably mounted on the magazine so that it can contact an engagement part on the follower and pivot the stop out of engagement with the abutment.
